Start of the Kopernikus research project 'Ariadne' with the participation of the University of Stuttgart [ Picture: Alpha Ventus] From electricity supply and industry to the Paris Climate Targets, from individual sectors to the big picture: With the Ariadne project, a network of leading research institutions is now starting an unprecedentedly comprehensive research process to shape the energy turnaround. The aim is to better understand the impact of different policy instruments in order to develop socially sustainable strategies for energy transition. From the very beginning, political decision-makers, industry representatives, and citizens will be involved in a large-scale dialog process. The energy turnaround currently seems to be caught in a maze of regulations to control the details. What is needed is an overarching perspective that shows politics a way out of this labyrinth, just as in Greek mythology Ariadne points the way for Theseus. The Ariadne project, launched on 1 June 2020, aims to make such a thread available to decision-makers in politics, business, and society on the basis of evidence-based interdisciplinary assessments in order to provide an improved scientific basis for shaping the German energy turnaround from a multidisciplinary perspective. The scientists will not only work analytically: The core of the project is the joint, purposeful dialog and learning process between research, politics, and society.
